Janis Joplin
A couple of nights ago I had a dream where Janis Joplin was not
dead. In the dream I was reading a WIKIPEDIA article about Joplin.
She made some records with Led Zeppelin during the 70s.
I used to listen to a tape by Janis when I was 17 or 18.
We also taped a documentary about Janis and used to watch
that in rotation with a documentary about Phil Ochs.
Anyway I was pretty sure that Janis Joplin overdosed,
but I used to be fairly drunk when I watchd the film about
Joplin, so perhaps I missed something.
The last time I thought about Janis Joplin was when I
heard Cohen say that his Chelsea hotel song was
about Janis Joplin. In fact, it looks like all my
information about Janis Joplin comes from the TV.
This is what used to happen in the days before the
internet.
I can feel a quest coming on to find Janis Joplin.
